IBM and Red Hat have inked an expansion to their relationship. The new agreement builds on IBM’s recent move to re-engineer its entire software portfolio with containers, including WebSphere, MQ Series and Db2.

As part of the agreement, IBM will extend its private cloud platforms (IBM Cloud Private and IBM Cloud Private for Data) and its middleware offerings to Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform as Red Hat Certified Containers.

The companies will also partner to provide joint consultancy and implementation services through the IBM Garage and Red Hat Consulting. Additionally, IBM PowerAI is now available on Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
